Subject: [PATCH] ext3: Properly report backup blocks present in a group

In filesystems with the meta block group flag on, ext3_bg_num_gdb()
fails to report the correct number of blocks used to store the group
descriptor backups in a given group. It happens because meta_bg
follows a different logic from the original ext3 backup placement
in groups multiples of 3, 5 and 7.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Comparison between little-endian and host-endian variables.

I should have used le32_to_cpu() instead of cpu_to_le32() some lines above. It
was a minor typo error. I Will resend.

Thank you.
